I am a forest ecologist interested in the interplay between disturbance, climate, and forest management. Much of my work focuses on the disturbance regimes of dry conifer forests of western North America, investigating spatial and temporal dynamics of wildfire, fuel treatments, tree mortality and regeneration, understory diversity, and invasive species.
Education and Experience:
Currently: Research Ecologist, U.S. Geological Survey, New Mexico Landscapes Field Station, Santa Fe NM.
2016-2018: Postdoctoral researcher, UC Berkeley Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management (with Scott Stephens)
2014-2016: Postdoctoral researcher, UC Davis John Muir Institute of the Environment (with Malcolm North)
2009-2014: PhD with the UC Davis Graduate Group in Ecology (with Andrew Latimer)
2006-2008: MS with the University of Vermont Department of Plant Biology (with Brian Beckage)

Dear Jens Stevens
May I have a pdf of you paper recently published in J. Ecol.:
Forest disturbance accelerates thermophilization of understorey plant communities
Thanks a lot
